Fix: ReferenceError: require is not defined in ES module scope [Node]

sampleModule.mjs

const sampleModule = require('./sampleModule');
sampleModule();

Error Stack:

node --experimental-modules sample.mjs
file:///Users/c2ctechtv/Desktop/node-examples/sample.mjs:2
const myModule = require('./myModule.mjs');
                 ^

ReferenceError: require is not defined in ES module scope, you can use import instead

Node.js v20.4.0

Fix:

Instead of the require,

const sampleModule = require('./sampleModule');

Make use of,

import sampleModule from './sampleModule.mjs';
